The Future City Competition, a NSPE 4-part multi-disciplinary competition which asks students to design a future city by employing critical thinking, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills has begun across the North Texas Region. The 12-14 yr. olds design a city using SimCity software, a table-top scale city model built with recycled materials; write a research essay & abstract and will provide a 7-minute Team verbal Presentation defending their vision before a panel of judges in January.

This year’s theme: The Power of Public Spaces.
